Key Things Every Student Loan Borrower Should Know

If you’re borrowing student loans, you need to be on top of your game. Here are a few things every borrower should be aware of:

  • Loan Repayment: Make sure you understand your loan terms, including the interest rate and repayment plans. Don’t forget to explore options like deferment or forgiveness if needed—these can make a huge difference!
  • Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines! Staying on top of deadlines is crucial. Whether it's for financial aid, scholarships, or other important forms, missing a date can cost you money.
  • Understand the fine print: Always read the terms and conditions of your financial aid award or loan offer so there are no surprises later.
  • Look for more resources: Scholarships, employer tuition assistance, community aid—there are lots of options out there. Don’t stop with just the financial aid we offer.
  • Need help? The Financial Aid Office is always here to guide you through the process. Don’t hesitate to reach out!
